Why do the sleeves need to come out? What type of bushings are you replacing the current ones with?

Well to answer your question the easierst way to get them out is to cut through them with a sawzall. Then you should be able to tap them out with a hammer and a screwdriver.

1. I am installing something a little different for an article on Fordmuscle. No new bushings.

2. No sawzall in the garage. Will rent if I have to...

top secret, eh?
a little heat could expand the outer portion enough to allow the bushing to slide freely. watch out for fuel lines!
